Andrew Conway Ivy

Andrew Conway Ivy

Andrew Conway Ivy (1893-1978) was appointed by the American Medical Association as its representative at the 1946 Nuremberg Medical Trial for Nazi doctors.

His father was a chemistry professor and his mother was a biology teacher. He grew up in Cape Girardeau, Missouri. Ivy trained in medicine and physiology in Chicago and taught at Northwestern University before becoming vice president of the University of Illinois, responsible for the medicine, dentistry and pharmacy schools. From 1939 to 1941 he was president of the American Physiological Society. By 1945 he was probably 'the most famous doctor in the country'. He was author of the Green report.

When Ivy testified at the 1946 Nuremberg Medical Trial for Nazi war criminals, he misled the trial about the Green report, in order to strengthen the prosecution case: Ivy stated that the committee had debated and issued the report, when the committee had not met at that time. cite web

His reputation collapsed after 1949 when he steadfastly supported 'Krebiozen', an ineffective cancer drug.
